Wales Under-18s survived a late fightback to secure a famous 14-12 victory over England in the Under-19 International Series in South Africa.

Geraint Lewis's side produced a magnificent first half display in Cape Town and took the lead as early as the fourth minute through Scarlets full-back Tomi Lewis, whose try was converted by Ben Thomas.

Wales continued to dominate and extended their lead before the break as Scarlets tighthead prop Kemsley Mathias crashed over from close range, with Thomas' conversion giving his side a healthy 14-0 advantage at the interval.

England were much improved after the restart but struggled to break down Wales' resolute defence.

Their efforts were eventually rewarded as replacement hooker Will Capon barged over the whitewash to score England's first try in the 75th minute, which was converted Cameron Redpath.

And the front-row forward scored his side's second try at the death, giving England the opportunity to claim a draw with the final kick of the match.

But Redpath's conversion was off the mark as Wales secured their secured victory over England for the first ever time in the competition, as well as clinching their second success against their arch rivals this year following their 29-19 triumph at Ebbw Vale's Eugene Cross Park in March.

It means Wales have won both of their matches in the series having already defeated hosts South Africa 30-28.
